How to find the perfect make-up artist

Q – There are so many make-up artists to choose from. How do I find the person that’s right for me?

"What’s your style? Are you a classic girl or more alternative? Do you want to experiment with your look or play it safe? Your look should enhance your features rather than making you look like a completely different person.

"Most brides want to go with what’s trending, and it’s very easily overdone. Think strong contouring and over-done brows! Remember, looks are only popular for a while, and then they go out of fashion.

"If you have any married friends, ask them for some advice. Did they love their make-up? Ask them about their suppliers, and would they recommend them? Were they reliable and easy to deal with? Recommendations account for so much and give the peace of mind that every bride needs."
